David Beckham... not fit?

That's hard to believe isn't it? After all, this is the man that had a whole movie named after his famed curved free kicks. But the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer star feels that, though he's been training, he's not fit for a match right now. Becks, also a member of England's National team, is jonesing for his 100th England Cap. But his fitness level could keep him on the bench as it did during this month's match against Switzerland. On his blog, Beckham stated that he respected the manager's opinion to sit him out of that match. He's racing against time in hopes to be "match ready" by the March 26th soccer duel between France and England. He could become the first player to earn 100 England Caps.

Beckham is used to breaking records. He was the first England player to score in three world cups. He's one of only five players (including Pele... that's some great company there) in World Cup history to score twice from a direct free kick. And he's captained England's team 58 times -- one of the most in history.
